Hello fellow tortoise lovers!
My name is charlotte, I live in the Phoenix area, I am happily divorced with a blind and deaf shih tzu. I very sadly lost my 25 year old Sonoran tortoise Sheldon recently and have since rescued two sulcatas, Bowser and Clover.
I am new to looking after Sulcatas, they are indoor until it’s cooler to assemble their cage that will sit in their outdoor enclosure. A bob cat turned Sheldon over and sadly he couldn’t flip himself over and died in the sun. I am not taking any chances with these guys, they are indoor now as they are only two years old and I think birds of prey would have no trouble picking them up. We have safe supervised playtime in the sun daily.
I am still grieving for Sheldon , I miss him every single day, but the two new guys are helping me through. I love love being a tortoise caretaker, it has been such an awesome rewarding experience so far and I’m sure will only get better!
I am blown away with the knowledge and experience on this forum! I have been lurking for several weeks now, the information I have found on here has been invaluable! Nice to meet you all! Cheers!
